]]>This is a personal story that answers the question “How do people fast?”. Although I’ve never been particularly attached to food, if you would have asked me a year ago to fast, I would have refused. Fast forward to today, I fast regularly with ease.

Fasting is interesting in that, once you start doing it, you realize it is not really a big deal. It is interesting how you feel surprisingly good, with no hunger, and great clarity.

Our bodies are built to go periods of time without food. I believe that we have gotten away from the natural practice of fasting due to our reliance on technology that keeps food readily available to us.

My journey to fasting was simple. Painless. And very satisfying. I do like to learn new things about myself and it was surprising to learn how easily I adapted to fasting.

Although, I will admit. Not feeling hungry was a key factor. I dislike being hungry and that would have been a deterrent. The ketogenic lifestyle that I had embarked on allowed me to understand my body and do what felt natural. This created the situation where fasting felt “easy”. The hardest part was explaining to family and friends that I was not eating today. Funny where our stumbling blocks come from.

The benefits that I have lived from the ketogenic lifestyle and fasting are great. Aches and pains that I have lived with for years are no longer there. I do credit Keto with most of the improvement. However, I do see the benefits that fasting added.

I feel like I’m rambling a bit but these are my thoughts on my personal fast experience. Questions are welcomed.

I work on being happy everyday because happiness is a journey. It would be my pleasure to help you work on being happy, one video at a time.

Thank you for watching!

]]>Let’s begin with the obvious. No one can force you to fast. If you want to eat, eat. That being said, I find it crazy how many arguments there are online about fasting.

First of all, fasting is a period of time when you are not eating. What is comical about this is, if you consider that a great majority of people often eat when they are not even hungry, how can we then try to put a time frame on what would be fasting?

So, if fasting is not eating during a time frame when you would normally have eaten, then the length of fast can vary widely. What is known, the longer the fast, the more benefits that you gain from the fast.

Science has told us that our bodies focus most of its energy on managing the most important processes before lesser important processes. Processing food is a very important and energy intensive process.

The key to allowing other, very important, processes to take center stage is to have periods of time when we are not eating. The more time we give these other processes, the more health we can attain. So if you want to improve your health, fasting is another tool at your disposal.

]]>I’m saying it right from the start. Stop looking for short cuts. You will only set yourself up for failure. Weight loss is a process of allowing your body to use appropriate fuels to power itself while also healing any damage from the inappropriate fuel sources you were previously using. Believing that you can heal your body in a few weeks after years of damage is unrealistic.

It is so important to be kind to yourself and your body during your weight loss. By beginning the process understanding that this will take a year or two, you prepare yourself for the challenges that will be in front of you.

You see, you will have to be prepared to eat well every day for the rest of your life. And you will need to be prepared to stick to your new eating habits at birthday parties, holidays, and anniversaries. You are not only solving some metabolic issues that brought you to this weight but also creating a new way of looking at food.

This is important. Our bodies are precious. You need to consider what you are using as fuel. Eating something that is nutrient poor because it tastes great still means that you just asked your body to manage a bunch of carbs that are toxic for a momentary taste satisfaction. Your body can only protect you by storing that as fat, which is expressly against the goal you seem to have for yourself.

If weight loss is truly your goal, you need to plan for better eating and understand what better eating truly is, in order to be successful. Prioritize your health and you will see success.

]]>What is the paradox of weight loss and how does the ketogenic lifestyle help us to understand it? Put simply, we have all the information that we need to be at a healthy weight. It has been explained to us from time we began elementary school. Yet, more and more adults are over weight.

The reason, the information that we’ve been given to manage our weight is incorrect. That’s right, it is information that does not correctly explain what causes weight fluctuation and therefore the average person cannot use the information to correctly modify their weight.

Calories are a measurement of energy. Measuring energy output possible by food is good for knowledge sake because it allows us to know the potential usage we can get out of the food. What is ignored is that not every person who eats a specific food will use the energy from the food the same way. Therefore, the input of energy into a sedentary person’s body versus an athlete will most likely be utilized by the body differently. Meaning, if two people ingest the same food but their body utilizes it differently, then the caloric nature of the food is not as important as what their body did with it.

This is just one example of how the calories in calories out idea has lead us to believe that we can just move more, without acknowledging that our body’s baseline will still affect how the food is metabolized. The sedentary person body will absolutely manage the food intake differently because the expectations and capabilities of the body will limit what is possible and therefore limit the outcome.

And let’s be clear, this is not a fault of will power. It is a biological reality. Our bodies need to adjust to the obstacles that we present ourselves. And our bodies goal is always survival and maintenance. Which means that sometimes that is in direct conflict with our goal of weight loss.

We need to understand how our bodies function if we want to successfully achieve our weight goals. We need to understand that weight loss is not about tricking our bodies. It is a steady and consistent process of feeding ourselves the correct foods and allowing our bodies to adjust and respond appropriately.

Dr. Mark Hyman wrote a book about food and how it affects our bodies that I think could help those who want to do more to improve their health. You can find the book here: https://amzn.to/2EhEO52

Weight loss management that works is based on health. If you want to be able to maintain your healthy weight, you need to think long term.

When health is your primary concern, you will be willing to learn about how your body works and to do what is necessary to maintain it appropriately. All of a sudden, you are not just focused on losing weight, you are focused on overall health and well being.

Therefore, if you really want to manage your weight successfully, begin by changing your attitude about your goal. A weight goal will lead to temporary success, if that! A health goal will more likely lead to long term weight management.

You notice that I can’t say a health goal will lead to long term weight management definitively. You see, you really need to commit to the health goal. If you pretend to be interested in health, just to achieve the weight goal, ultimately you will stop focusing on your health as soon as your weight goal is reached. True success is only achieved when we focus on health and understand that health is an ongoing forever goal. That is why it is more likely to lead to long term success.

Towards the goal of understanding your health, understanding food and how it affects your body is also important. In the video I go through some vital ideas.

Dr. Mark Hyman wrote a book that I believe also would be helpful in understanding food and the effects of food on the body:

]]>Ever find yourself in front of an empty extra large bag of chips and think to yourself “I only meant to have a few”? That’s what happens when we allow ourselves to eat food without any restrictions. We can’t trust ourselves with food. Mostly because we were never taught to manage our food intake.

You see, when we are hungry, we seek carbohydrate heavy foods. This is simply because carby foods taste better. Now carby fatty foods taste the best. But we have been taught that fat is bad and should be avoided lest we

gain enough weight to be considered two people.

Well what about those potato chips? We know there are fats in them. When we eat foods that contain both fats and carbs, our brain has a very high pleasure response. That response is often enough to allow most people to eat mindlessly (and of course be disappointed with themselves afterwards).

There are some steps you can take to ensure that you have a better relationship with food and make better meal choices. You will need to be willing to think about food differently and to challenge yourself to do what is best for you rather than do what is easier.

Hmm, seems like a lot to ask. Versus the standard American/Canadian Diet that is so simple. Feel hungry, eat food, be mad at yourself for a poor choice, eat more food, be mad, etc. Simple but really bad for our health.

What made sense to me, was that by understanding the reason that I was overeating and taking real steps to eat better, weight loss became much easier. And you can experience the same results, if you are willing to do the work. Ooo, I know, I said the “w” word. But let’s face it, there will be some effort required.

]]>Jillian Michaels attacks keto without really giving any concrete examples to back up her arguments. This is very frustrating given that celebrities have a lot of influence.

I do believe that we should challenge the norm. That is how progress is made. However, when we challenge, it should be based on facts.

If Jillian Michaels believes that there are issues with the Ketogenic diet, it would be best to list the issues rather than rant about the diet without

giving evidence that it is bad.

Most of the statements that Jillian Michaels did make about Keto and health were actually incorrect or vague. She mentions telomers but does not explain their usefulness in health. Just uses the word to look intelligent without demonstrating that she understands the term.

When we use language in that way, often it is a method of confusing people so that you can push an agenda. If our ultimate goal is health and wellness, with all the research that has been showing that Keto is helping people to manage metabolic syndromes better, shouldn’t we be discussing the real advantages and disadvantages of the diet?

If there are issues with the Ketogenic diet, we do need to be aware and address them. But “I don’t like it” is not a strong enough of an argument when millions of people have had success on the diet.

Celebrities need to keep in mind that their message will affect millions of people. So arbitrarily dismissing a diet when you are a trainer could lead to millions of people not getting the help that they need.

I hope that those of you who were interested in the Ketogenic diet will do your own research. Find doctors who are in the field working with the diet and see what types of results they are reporting. Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Eric Berg, and Dr. Ken Berry have all been very open about the success they have seen using Keto with their clients. They are also very clear about the fact that not every person needs to do Keto. Do your research.

I really hope this video helps you to make the decision to take care of yourself, both physically and mentally.

]]>You might be wondering what’s so special about low carb and keto diets. The whole internet seems to be talking about these diets and arguing about the health benefits or death traps that are inherent in each.

From my perspective, I’ve encountered very good results with a Ketogenic lifestyle. Within 3 months, I was able to solve an evolving hip issue, solve long term back and knee issues, and I was able to regulate my weight.

Considering that I came to the ketogenic diet looking for a solution to an inflammation problem (hip) and I left with the solution, plus improved

metabolic health, and a new body that I am super impressed with, I have nothing but good things to say about Keto and low carb.

inflammation problem (hip) and I left with the solution, plus improved metabolic health, and a new body that I am super impressed with, I have nothing but good things to say about Keto and low carb.

Now, keep in mind, I began the ketogenic diet with a specific goal in mind, to solve a hip issue. Most people begin this diet to solve a weight issue and get better health by accident. That’s what’s great about low carb. No matter why you begin, if you do the diet in a mindful way, you get all the benefits.

What do I think about the people who claim that this diet caused health issues? In my experience with talking to people who have not had success with this diet, the common thread seemed to be non-adherence. The diet calls for 20 grams or fewer carbs per day, not per meal. The diet calls for eating only when hungry. And every food list that I’ve ever seen has no treats on it, so, no treats. In my experience, compliance with these rules leads to successful weight loss and successful healing of many metabolic issues.

So am I saying that I will never eat a cookie again. No. But if I do eat a cookie and that leads me to have serious cravings or worse to regain the weight, I won’t be blaming the diet!

Of course, if you have any metabolic/health issues that would prevent you from doing a low carb diet, follow the directions of your doctor. For the rest of us, take responsibility for your choices. If you continue to eat carbs … But if you want to commit to making some changes, find some support so you can commit to eating a healthy and nutrient dense diet while you heal your body. I encourage all of you to open the discussion of support in the comment section. Having people to talk to about your struggles can really help. And I will definitely respond to as many as I can!

]]>Whether you were losing weight and then it just seemed to stop or you were not even able to get the weight loss started, it is frustrating when you cannot achieve your goals. There are some common misunderstandings that block weight loss for most people.

For me, it was very frustrating to know that I was doing everything that I was told should help me to lose weight and yet see no movement on the

scale. It was frustrating enough that I absolutely stopped trying.

For the 10 years prior to my weight loss, I made zero attempt at losing weight. And guess what? I was happy. I did my sports and felt fine, until, I didn’t feel fine. And when my hip exploded in pain for no apparent reason, I was certain that it was just my weight catching up to me.

Well, although I was wrong, the series of events that took place next lead to my hip healing perfectly and my weight normalizing to what it is today.

There is information that you need to learn about how the body works if you want to achieve and maintain weight loss. There is information you need to learn about food as well. My video covers the body stuff and this book by Dr. Mark Hyman goes over the food stuff: https://amzn.to/2EhEO52

There are so many fat loss myths that derail our progress when we try to lose weight. And the worst part, we don’t even notice that we are following rules that don’t make any sense. Everybody just knows that

this stuff works, right? Well if it works, why is our society quickly getting fatter and fatter? Because it doesn’t work.

In order to lose weight, you need to know what will actually help you to lose and what will keep you entrenched in the weight loss industry’s grip where they can sell you supplements and memberships to the gym without the long term success that you want to achieve. I know, I know, that was a run on sentence. But there was no other way to say it. And darn it, this is important! Your health is up to you! We have experts like Dr. Jason Fung who is very explicit about what causes obesity. When you know what is causing the problem, you can manage your weight and attain your health goals.
